Charcoal drawing, etching plate and Apophysis overlays / Sold as a laminated print and a card in January 2008
Digitally altered oil pastel drawing with Apophysis layers All profits from the sale of this work will be donated to the wildlife victims of the Victorian bushfires.
Inspired by the textures of luxury and oppulance this painting has been created using mediums ranging from acrylic, glue, inks, gold leaf, shellac, pastel and layers of various papers. Please view the large version of this painting if you have the time, I believe it shows the details and textures much better. I will be very interested in your comments as this painting presented many hurdles during the process, some mediums just don’t like working together! Pastel is not traditionally varnished, but I have defied tradition! For developement of the painting you can view my journal entry where I have uploaded a few pictures of this work in progress. Now that it is complete I will upload a few more of the stages of developement for those interested, yes BillyLee – I am thinking of you : ) Thanks for viewing and leaving your comments. Carmen : )

Charcoal drawing, photo and Apophysis layers Gaia – she is rising they shovelled her screams into the pit of silence / and told her nothing was wrong / but she is waking they told her beauty was skin shaven clean / and denuded her of her undergrowth / but she is remembering encased in her corset of asphalt, they dressed her / in roads and cities for their pleasure / but she is rising she is rising like the mist on a clear, cold morning / millennia of sleep fall away from her like grieving / in the light of her regard nothing keeps its meaning / Gaia – she is rising
Collage, scanned peacock feathers and apophysis overlays Only love has power over lovers. Death has none. / The beloved is giving as he appears to take away. / Breath diminishes as spirit flows stronger, / a falcon released to the wild. Rumi
Mixed media – archival black ink, acrylic, collage – paper painted, mono & screen-printed, drawing, photo; screen-printed cotton fabric, carpet material; on canvas. Work exhibited in the Visual Arts Association Group Exhibition ‘Four Seasons’, held Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld. / Theme – ‘The Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi Background: I had working individually on art compositions relative to my passion to interpret music, rhythm/movement and energy through the use of formal visual art elements ie. line, colour, tone, shape, texture and art media. The interpretation requires one’s senses to hear and feel, absorb sound and energies, to internalize and contemplate, as apposed to recording information seen/perceived through the eyes from the physical ‘outer’ world. One has to create and interpret a visionary abstract, from a pure transitional and spiritual sensual state, from one’s own internal environment, of knowledge, understanding and experience. I jumped at the chance when this exhibition theme came up. Also I am much inspired by Kandinsky and his work, a long time favourite art philosopher and mentor. ....................................... /

Pastel drawing, scanned peacock feather and Apophysis overlays A Dream Within A Dream Take this kiss upon the brow! / And, in parting from you now, / Thus much let me avow- / You are not wrong, who deem / That my days have been a dream; / Yet if hope has flown away / In a night, or in a day, / In a vision, or in none, / Is it therefore the less gone? / All that we see or seem / Is but a dream within a dream. Edger Allen Poe
Pastel drawing and Apophysis overlays Under the wave it is altogether still, / Alive and still, as nourishing as sleep, / Down below conflict, beyond need or will, / Where love flows on and yet is there to keep, / As unconstrained as waves that lift and break / And their bright foam neither to give or take. from The return of Aphrodite by May Sarton

A mixed medium painting of stunning white acrylic daisies on a watercolour background, some ink.

I love the changing of colours during autumn. This Impressionist digital painting (Corel Painter) was inspired by the beautiful maple tree as it changed colours.

Taken on Valetine’s eve. / Perfect weather and you could see this Northern light starting slowly on your right side and start to spread more towards the left. The colours where amazing. Normally it’s difficult to see the purple/red but not this time. So I got the entire developing of this Northern lights until it almost covered the sky.
